Administration. The Varsity Community Centre is the heart of our community. Together, the Board of Directors and office staff strive to develop and implement the policies, services and programs for the members of the community. Financial records, minutes and correspondence are at the Community Centre.

  • Office staff are responsible for;

  • registration and coordination of all activities and programs;

  • membership;

  • preparation and processing of grant applications;

  • planning and coordination of social functions and craft shows;

  • hall rentals and catering; and

  • facility maintenance and operation.

Your "working" Board of Directors meets each month to review the administration and operation of programs, facilities and services. All board members are volunteers dedicated to a stronger community.

Hall Rentals, Bartending and Catering Services (288-9001). The Varsity Community Centre has rooms available for rent to members and the public. Hall rentals, bartending and catering services for weddings, socials and special events are desirable services both to the customer and to the community alike. Varsity depends a great deal on the revenues generated from hall rentals and catering, for the operation of the entire facility.
